The ACA tax credits don't just help families afford the coverage they need. They help small businesses keep their employees covered while keeping costs down. Letting these credits expire will have disastrous effects on our economy. www.smallbusinessforamericasfuture.org/protect-main...

This week, the Senate will vote on Democrats' clean, three-year extension of the ACA tax credits.
Republicans have a choice: stop health insurance premiums from skyrocketing or abandon their constituents.

🚨 Of all the "alternative" ACA bills the GOP has scrambled to slap together over the past week or so, it looks like the Senate GOP has decided to go with one of the worst as their alternative to simply extending the f*cking tax credits.

ACA tax credits keep health care costs down for millions—but they'll expire at the end of the year unless Republicans act.
Every House Democrat signed a discharge petition to extend them and stop premiums from skyrocketing. If just four Republicans join us, the House would vote.

He’s just reracking what he’s been saying about tariffs since at least the 1990s. He’s just old and cognitively decrepit now so his needle is stuck and he just keeps repeating the same things again and again.
The way Trump talks about the problems he caused by unilaterally imposing tariffs is fairly insane, even by his standards.

Of course Trump would give the economy an A+ after he rigged it to enrich him, his family and billionaires...
But for the rest of America?
Higher utility bills.
Higher grocery bills.
Historically high mortgage rates.
And skyrocketing health insurance bills.
